Leave your thoughts about American Folk.
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeA simple story, beautifully told, American Folk is a timely reminder of a dream not yet dead. |
| Washington City PaperTricia OlszewskiAmerican Folk-and the actors themselves-come alive when the music's playing, particularly if you're a fan of Pete Seeger-era Americana. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe songs are lovely, and the first-time actors give performances that grow warmer as the film progresses, and their characters release, relax and find a groove, if only for this moment in time. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyHeinz, demonstrating considerable assurance in his feature directorial bow, makes good use of the chemistry between the two musicians. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfWhile Heinz gets a little too meandering at times, he's after something kind and soulful with the feature, fighting current political and cultural divides with a reminder that civility and hope is still possible. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThe film evolves into an unconventional road movie that turns out to be quietly affecting. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonContrivances threaten to derail the otherwise subtle, unassuming charm in this exploration of Americana. |
| Film InquiryChloe WalkerDavid Heinz's excellent debut is an ardent plea for togetherness in a divided world. Aided by his leading actors, talented cinematographer, and ear-worm of a soundtrack, Joni and Elliott's journey is a privilege to share. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Jarrod WalkerThe haunting effects of 9/11 have never been so lyrically approached on film... |
| Movie NationRoger MooreWriter/director/editor David Heinz gives us a road picture of sweet anecdotes, kind encounters and little conflict, an America with its rough edges rubbed off. |
